LYRICS

Secret eyes follow you around the room They try to hide their glances in the darkness How could there be anyone as beautiful as you? Who couldn't help but want you? I'm not the only one who wants to get next to you Bet I'm not the only one who's ever told you How much they wanted to be your only one They all wanted you, wanted to be holding you now Holding you, touching you, feeling you Will it be me at the end of the night? Will I be, will I be the lucky one who wins you? Leavin' the place just to dream of your embrace Who wouldn't want to be in my place? I'm not the only one who wants to get next to you Bet I'm not the only one who's ever told you How much they wanted to be your only one They all wanted you, you'll break every heart before the night is through Every heart but the one that goes with you There you are, moving across the floor Knowing that all those arms are waiting and wanting Longing to reach for you You don't care, you could have anyone you choose I'm not the (I'm not the) only one who wants to get next to you Bet I'm not the only one who's ever told you How much they wanted to be your only one They all wanted you, wanted to be holding you now Holding you, touching you, feeling you I wanna get next to you Bet I'm not the only one who's ever told you How much they wanted to be your only one They all wanted you ...
